Beijing School of Media Arts and Film, just hearing the name, some people would think it is a pretty awesome school, but in fact it is a very ordinary school, so ordinary that you can buy a diploma directly with money here.

Well-known schools like China National Theater and Beijing Film Academy often have film crews come to cast their roles. If you are lucky enough to be chosen, it is not impossible for the boy and the girl to skyrocket.

As for the Beijing Media Arts and Film School, although there are opportunities to be on camera, teachers usually organize trips to Hengdian at their own expense during the winter and summer vacations. To put it bluntly, they are just doing a side job.

This morning.

A message exploded on the school's forum.

"Have you heard? The great director Xu Meng is coming to our school to select actors this afternoon!"

"Is it true? Xu Meng is coming? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"I heard that Director Xu Meng went from Beijing Film Academy to Nanyang University of Arts and went to eight schools but still couldn't find an actor he was satisfied with."

"What kind of show is this? Are the requirements so strict? Then what's the use of coming to us?"

"Um... maybe he went to the hospital for an emergency..."

...

Xu Meng is a new-generation young director who has emerged in the past two years. He shot two movies at a cost of 50 million. The two movies were released in the summer vacation of the year before last and the year before last.

The first one had a box office of 300 million, and the second one was only a few tens of millions away from breaking 1 billion, making him the youngest director in China to have a box office of 1 billion.

He is currently preparing for his third movie. This movie has attracted a lot of attention even before filming started. Due to his previous two achievements, a large number of investors are waiting for his blessing with their money in the air.

at this time.

Xu Meng was on his way to Beijing Media Arts and Film Institute. Zhou Tong, who was sitting next to him, looked at Xu Meng who was quickly flipping through the photos and said with a smile: "Thank you!"

Xu Meng looked up at him when he heard the sound, smiled, reached out and clenched his fist and lightly punched his shoulder and said, "What kind words did you say to me? How have you been this year?"

Zhou Tong was his classmate in college, and the relationship between the two has always been very strong. When he was filming his first movie after graduation, Zhou Tong also came over and helped him a lot.

While talking, Xu Meng put down the dozen photos in his hand.

to be honest.

He has been to many well-known academies such as Beijing Film Academy, China Theater Academy, Shanghai Theater Academy, Nanyang Academy of Arts, Shanghai Film Academy, and Beijing Academy of Arts, but he has not found a leading actor that he thinks is suitable. He has no hope for the Beijing Media Arts and Film Academy.

Yes, I came here just for Zhou Tong's sake, and the main purpose was to get together with old friends.

The two then began to reminisce about old times. In fact, Zhou Tong had been entrusted by the school leaders, but he did not mention it at all along the way.

After all, he knows Xu Meng's character well, and Xu Meng has his own ideas about casting. He already has a prototype in his mind about what his movie will look like. The personality of each character can be given through performance, but if the appearance

Those who fail to meet the standards imagined in his mind will 100% not be selected.

Later.

As he was about to arrive at the school gate, Zhou Tong stopped reminiscing about old times and asked about business matters.

"What do you want from the leading actor in your new movie?"

This question is what the media wants to know now. Xu Meng has gone all the way north and south to cast actors, but he has not found the right one. You must know that his movie was originally going to be released during the summer vacation, and now it is less than half a year before the May Day prime time.

It's time.

And heard this.

Xu Meng's head began to hurt.

He looked at his old friend seriously and asked: "Seriously! I want to find a handsome male protagonist, right?"

Zhou Tong shook his head when he heard this. He knew that the theme of Xu Meng's third movie was youth campus, so it was a common requirement for him to be a male coach.

At this time, Xu Meng continued: "Right! I just want to find someone who is more handsome! At the same time, the temperament must reflect sexiness and temptation, the kind of girl who can secrete hormones just by looking at her! This requirement is not too high.

High, right?"

Zhou Tong frowned slightly when he heard this. Simply speaking, the requirement for being handsome was not too high. If the handsome guy he wanted was one in a million, his next request might not be the kind that only happens once in a century.

Zhou Tong knew the problem very clearly. His friend might have imagined a male protagonist with a prosperous appearance. It would not be that easy to find the right one. At this time, he looked at the man with a sad face.

Xu Meng, after thinking for a while, suggested: "It's probably hard to find what you want in China. Have you been to several major colleges? How about changing your thinking? Find some girls and give it a try? If you can't find it, go to Bangzi.

If you look for it, you may not be able to find pure natural ones~”

Zhou Tong himself laughed out loud at the end.

Xu Meng directly shook his head and hugged his head with pain on his face and said: "I won't consider the stick side. Although the restraining order has not been issued, it is true that it will be difficult to pass the trial. I have also thought about dressing up as a man, but it is feminine and soft.

None of them are the elements I want.”

Zhou Tong looked at Xu Meng with a face full of pain. For a director like him who already has storyboards in his mind, it is really difficult to find a suitable actor. It is like going to the toilet and his phone is full.

The battery signal was full, the toilet paper was in hand, and the lighter was taken out, but when the cigarette box was opened, it was found that it was empty. This discomfort is difficult to describe in words.

At this time, a figure suddenly appeared in Zhou Tong's mind, and he opened his mouth subconsciously and said: "It seems there is a suitable candidate..." At this point, he thought of something, then shook his head and continued: "It's okay, he

It probably doesn’t meet your requirements, it’s not from the acting department.”

The main reason was that the person Zhou Tong thought of was not from the acting department, and Xu Meng usually only used acting students, which was also the key to cost control in his first two films.

After hearing the previous sentence, Xu Meng had already raised his head and looked at Zhou Tong. Zhou Tong's subsequent pull was something he did not expect.

In fact, for him.

A student from the acting department is like a diamond in the rough. He can be trained to look like anything he wants. With a storyboard in his mind, he just needs to find the right person to perform. To be honest, it doesn't matter whether he is from the acting department or not.

The reason why he has been casting in the acting department is mainly because he could meet his needs by looking only here before. Now he has seen people from the acting departments of several major universities, including some newcomers who have been signed by film and television companies.

But none of them satisfied him.

At this time, Xu Meng looked directly at Zhou Tong and said: "It's okay! As long as you think it's appropriate, just show me the photo. It doesn't matter if it's about acting or not! I'm just waiting for the male lead to arrive and start filming!"

Hear this.

Zhou Tong nodded vigorously and said, "Okay! I'll go find their department chair later. I remember he seems to be from the music department?"

at the same time.
Chapter completed!
